StayPrime Marylebone Serviced Apartments

Great location and very clean

It was a little too noisy to have the windows open and the heating had been set to maximum so it was very hot. But if it had not been so hot it would have been fine

Very clean, modern room and bathroom, kitchenette

Very steep stairs to the top floor No bar, no reception, all automated

The room was clean and centrally located, close to the metro, bus stops, pubs, and shops. It also offered some nice amenities, such as a coffee machine with coffee pods and a microwave. The host was courteous and quick to respond to any requests. The self check-in was very convenient, especially if you are not sure what time you will arrive.

However, the room is really quite small. If you are travelling as a couple or are planning to cook meals during your stay, it might be worth considering other options. The window in the room can only be opened slightly (about four fingers’ width), presumably for safety reasons, which is understandable. The room was on the third floor, but this was only communicated after the booking had been made and paid for. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi connection was not very reliable, as the network was often unavailable.

The apartment was really nice and looked just as shown in the pictures. It was clean and everything worked properly, from the hob to the bathroom facilities. The location was perfect for our stay, a nice neighborhood close to shops and restaurants.

The weather forecast showed temperatures above 30°C during our stay. We knew the apartment had no air conditioning, but we were not prepared for how unbearably hot it would be inside. It felt like a sauna, and we could barely sleep or move around without sweating. There was only one small fan, which was not sufficient. We contacted the property and asked for another fan, but after the first terrible night, we decided to check out and find another hotel. Had it not been for the extreme heat, the apartment would have been a perfect place to stay. However, I believe more fans should have been provided in advance, and guests should have been warned about how extremely hot the apartment could become.
